The Los Angeles Dodgers lost another one last night, falling victim at home to the Arizona Diamondbacks and bringing their skid to 6 games, but that should end tonight when they open a 4-game set at Chavez Ravine against the Colorado Rockies. The Dodgers have won 5 of the last 6 meetings with the Rockies and are expected to send the best pitcher in baseball to the hill, Clayton Kershaw. What can you say about Kershaw? Just that he is 16-2 on the season, with an ERA of 1.95, a WHIP of 0.86, and he is 21-6 lifetime against the Rockies. In his last 3 starts, Kershaw is 2-0, with an ERA of 0.00, and a 0.73 WHIP. That’s scary. The Rockies are expected to send Jon Gray to the rubber. Gray has a 6-4 record, with an ERA of 4.26, and a WHIP of 1.43. In his last 3 outings, Gray is 1-2, with a very respectable ERA of 2.55, and a 1.25 WHIP. The Rockies are 2-5 in their last 7 overall, 6-14 in their last 20 against the National League West, and are 1-4 in Gray’s last 5 road starts against a team with a winning record. The number in this one is high and it should be, because everything points to a Dodgers victory.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES DODGERS
